Choosing the Correct Workers
Your site has an administrative control level (ACL) of 700 mrem. There are
seven workers in your group who are qualified to do a hot job requiring three
individuals (one job leader and two workers). You have the information below.

It's Tuesday and the job is to be done Friday. The job leader will get 200 mrem
and the other two will get between 300 and 400 mrem. It's near the end of the
year, so it looks as though there will be no work involving any significant dose
after this job until well into next year.
Egmont, your most experienced worker, is restricted to 200 mrem per year
because of an incident several years ago which put his lifetime (committed) dose
over his age in Rem. Harpo is going in for an outpatient radioactive test
Thursday. Julius is new, so you are reluctant to choose him to be the leader, and
Barbie and Selda don't have experiences to be the leader. (All the others do)
Cleo has just quietly told you she is pregnant. She will get the declaration form
signed Monday, when your group secretary gets back from vacation and can
type up the form as management requires. Barbie was saying only last month
that she and her husband Chancy are "trying" and she hopes she gets pregnant
right away. You have no idea if she has succeeded. Tito used to be a "jumper"
in the nuclear power industry but has gotten married and settled down. He says
he and his wife want a family "real soon."
Which workers should you choose? Why?
